Depends on why you actually have "acid reflux" or GERD.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all the people coming out of the woodwork with "wheat gluten" intolerances, or "milk casein" intolerances thought they simply had simply had acid reflux too.

Turns out there is a minor auto immune disorder that was only discovered in like 2010.
It makes your throat BURN just like you have acid reflux, but in reality its your throat having a minor allergic reaction attacking itself.

If you take pepto bismol or you take TUMS and the acid reflux doesnt go away, there is a good chance you have it.

Its extremely prevalent, and its just randomly showing up in people in their late 20s early 30s.
Turns out they think Triclosan long term exposure in toothpaste and soaps at a young age is one of the major causes. Turns out they pumped it into everything like 25 years ago and only just stopped recently.

Apparently its always been around and people just have said "Oh its just GERD" so it went under the radar for so long.

Go to your doctor and ask to get a blood titer test for allergens and see what they say.
